Fashion fans looking to update their wardrobes for winter, pick out the perfect party dress or hunt down the ultimate outfit for your equally stylish peers this Christmas, you’ll be pleased to know that it’s not too late to get a great deal. Black Friday may be over, but Cyber Monday continues to see some pretty impressive discounts at brands like HOBBS, a retailer loved by Princess Kate Middleton.
The popular retailer has discounted 20% off everything – including sale – as part of the major shopping event. But you’ll need to be quick, because the deal ends tonight, with prices expected to return to full price come Tuesday.
One of our shopping experts’ top picks from the Black Friday offer is theRosanne faux fur coat. Once priced at £229, this plush fur coat is now available for just £183.20 and boasts a flawless five-star rating.
Cleverly designed with a contrasting fur pattern, the Rosanne Faux Fur Coat epitomises luxury and glamour, leaning into old money and mob wife trends that have dominated this year. This statement piece, which comes in both petite and regular lengths, features a longline boxy silhouette and a cosy funnel neckline, while its hook-eye closure adds a polished finish to this stylish piece.
Practical too, it’s equipped with subtle side pockets for essentials or simply to keep hands toasty, The Mirror reports. Shoppers have fallen in love with this now discounted garment, with one fan of the piece stating: “Perfect fit. Love the shine in it making it perfect for going out Warm and perfect for the weather.”
Another swooned: ” Lovely coat, really nice quality material and seems to be well made. The slight pattern in the fur gives it a lovely finish.” Although they ‘sadly’ remarked: “the coat was a bit big on the shoulders so I’ve had to return it. The smaller one would probably be slightly tight.”
Sharing its top quality, a third fan added: “Love it. Love the feel and the fall. I think I’m going to use it for a long time.” Another shopper gushed how they were ‘saving it for Christmas holiday. To arrive in style!’ – and it’ll certainly help you do that.
Of course, this Christmassy coat isn’t all that caught our eye in the HOBBS sale as we’ve seen a few dresses that are ideal for your upcoming festive parties and the big day itself.
For example, its Velvet Marciella Dress, now £111.20 from £139, comes in a stunning midnight navy hue and is crafted with soft silky velvet. With 3/4 length sleeves – ideal for the festive chill – and a dainty collar, the dress has a tunic-style silhouette and even features pockets; a dream feature in dresses.
One shopper who bought the same style in a red colour last year returned this time around to snap up the navy iteration and said: “I bought the same dress last year in a wine colour so know the navy version would be the perfect fit, wonderful quality velvet and very smart and stylish for any occasion.”
Wear with your favourite sparkly boots, now £139 from £189, or Mary Janes and tights for a classy but festive look.
Add a bit more shimmer to your look with the Zariah Sequin dress, which is currently £143.20 down from £179. Coming in sizes 6 to 22, the dress is an elegant option for year-round parties thanks to its sheer neck, blouson sleeves, and timeless black hue. The real showstopper is its sequin and bead-embellished body, which screams Christmas party. A mini length, the tunic-style dress works wonderfully with some sparkly heels, the brand’s Kamala jewelled bag, and the Rosanne coat.
While the dress itself has been showered in praise for being ‘beautiful’, the ‘square’ shape of the dress wasn’t quite as favoured with one disgruntled shopper writing: “Lovely dress unfortunately the style being quite square did not suit my frame and did not get the sparkle wow so did not keep it It would suit many just not me.”
Another had issues with returning the dress, which added a sourness to their shopping experience.
HOBBS isn’t the only retailer with discounts ahead of the festive season, with the likes of Debenhams offering up to 75% off some of its products. Meanwhile, Nobody’s Child has 25% off everything with the special code BF25, which reportedly ‘ends soon’. Or you can shop the HOBBS’ Black Friday sale here.
